Tim Bonner is starting at defensive tackle for the BC Lions, he had his first sack in a 15-9 victory over Calgary on Thursday, August 12. Lucky leads the team with 244 receiving yards in his first two games. He also has 14 catches, including a 75-yard TD.Worth keeping an eye on both. Thrilled for Tim!

Great news! Tim has come a long way glad he is playing professionally and earning a solid living doing what he loves

Update through four games:

Lucky: 20 catches (on 27 targets) for 339 yards and the touchdown. 

Tim: four tackles and two sacks in three games. 

So we’re looking at anywhere from 9-13 FAU players who should realistically open the 2021 NFL season (James Pierre could start for the Steelers) on either a 53, IR, or practice squad. It could be as high as 16-17. Plus these two in Canada and a few others (Tevin Homer, Jakobi Smith) who are still in the Arena League. 

Incredible progression. 

Another update:

Tim has three sacks and a forced fumble in four games. 

Lucky is at 24/421/1 across five games. Only two other CFLers have more receiving yards this year. 

Also, Lucky did this. 

 

119 yards?
